   Sounds               of    Silence 



Rest of it strummed :  

       G 
 In restless dreams I walked alone 
                           Am     C 
 Narrow streets of cobblestone, 
                     F        C 
 'Neath the halo of a street lamp,  
                            F        C 
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp 
          F                                         C 
 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 
       F   F/E    C   C/B   Am    C          
 That split the night 
                   G        Am  
 And touched the sound of silence. 


 And in the naked light I saw 
 Ten thousand people, maybe more. 
 People talking without speaking, 
 People hearing without listening, 
 People writing songs that voices never share 
 And no one dared 
 Disturb the sound of silence. 

 "Fools" said I,"You do not know 
 Silence like a cancer grows. 
 Hear my words that I might teach you, 
 Take my arms that I might reach you." 
 But my words like silent raindrops fell, 
 And echoed 
 In the wells of silence 

 And the people bowed and prayed  
 To the neon god they made. 
 And the sign flashed out its warning, 
 In the words that it was forming. 
 And the signs said, The words of the prophets 
  are written on the subway walls 
 And tenement halls. 
 And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
